I found a Q&A for that model from HP and saw this one that I find hard
to believe:

Q4.  	Why do I need four memory slots?
A4. 	Having four memory slots most likely enables systems to
accommodate more total memory than a two or three slot solution.
Additionally, having up to 3 open slots allows users to add memory
incrementally, growing only as fast as it is necessary. Most importantly
for cost-sensitive small businesses, having four slots accommodates
large memory configurations without using extremely expensive high
density DIMMs. For example, loading 2GB in 2 slots costs $3,000-$4,000
more than loading 2GB in four lots (2x1 GB DIMMs vs. 4x512MB DIMMs).

Is HP actually claiming it costs $4000 to buy a pair of 1GB ECC dimms
for their box?
